Confusion Regarding Bike Upgrade from Bajaj Discover

. This is a discussion on Confusion Regarding Bike Upgrade from Bajaj Discover within The Bike Shopper. Part of The Automotive Shopper category; Red one, mind blowing color. It's damn damn gorgeous, go for it. Combination of Red with chrome parts are made ...

Black is classic color for such bikes.
Red tend to incline on Fancy side ,rest is your call.

I had both in front of me but Black hypnotized me !

Among an old red and an old black, the latter would look better, but if you see them brand new, red looks more more tempting. Also, a new red avenger had chrome work done on it which was looking too beautiful.

In this case even I had a Avenger and did a very good highway riding on it and I once made 145KMPH on it. I can never forget that moment. But what I had was 180CC long back.

One thinng nothing much in the overall Skeleton design has changed. What I felt was after a little long continous ride I had my thighs paining and I am 5'10. Somehow I did not like the ride quality and the suspension on it(specially when a pillion).

It not feel that great on high speeds. Also if you are using a bike mostly within the city then its better to get a shorter bike. This bike is specially designed for a Cruiser and straight roads. Just wanted to share this.

Guys when everything was finalized from my side to book an avenger another cruiser teased me. While on vacation I rode the RE Thunderbird 350 of one of friend and I loved the looks and ride (though it was pre 2012 model). Now all I want is the new RE thunderbird 350.

I am 5'6'' average built, people say it will be too heavy for me and not very comfortable for city commute. I am not convinced yet.

If anyone in this forum can suggest me which vehicle should I get. I am all set to book RE TB this weekend which has a 6 months waiting period (1.46 lakhs on-road in Bangalore). The vehicle will be for my daily commute to office and occasional weekend long distance tours.

Go ahead. your confidence should matter thats all. With a height of 5.6 you can manage all the bikes and I believe RE TB very well.

Now let it be city or highway , daily use or weekend , high maintenance or low maintenance.... first choose what kind of a rider are you.

1)A person who wants a smooth brisk ride to reach from point A to pint B. Like an Arrow hit from a Bow
2)A person who wants to experience the ride more than reaching from point A to pint B . Like a Kite from the rope.

Now once chosen decide on the bike
I will not talk much about it but my friend once you are addicted to Bullets then you are addicted and there is no looking back.

So RE are just not bikes they are machines with souls and added to the petrol you have to also add heart to it. Its like a lover who keeps on asking to pay bills but my dear you are happy to pay the bills and enjoy the run as well.

Now choosing 350 cc or 500 cc:
This can be thought as personal choice. Since you said that you will not be using much to go out of the town then 350 is the answer since its very difficult to use the full power of 500CC and make all her horses run in city limits.
500cc are defnitly for highway since it needs that undisturbed stretch of tarmac for all the horses to run.

All the best here since its you choice as who knows today's egg is tomorrows bird. A Royal Enfield might change you as shes no less than a lover or wife

Now again you will have one more doubt. The Classic or TB
TB - Is defnitly a painful rhino to ride. This bike has longer swing arm and longer front forks making it a perfect design for a highway. Its almost like a car on 2 wheels.
Cities are defnitly not designed for a Thunder-Bird. I had one and its my personal experience. Again nothing is impossible and we have to get a little adjusted

CLASSIC: This is just the perfect bike for a normal city rides and occasional long loooong loooooooooooong rides. My friend recently bought a CL500 and he is like
sleeping in the parking lot itself. Its soo addictive. This bike is short and has a very short handle bar and very easily maneuverable but dont compare her to
sports bike.

My advice here is ride the bike at-least like 5-7 or 10times and then see if get haunted by her.

1)A person who wants a smooth brisk ride to reach from point A to pint B. Like an Arrow hit from a Bow
2)A person who wants to experience the ride more than reaching from point A to pint B . Like a Kite from the rope.

You have a magic skill with words!

@rockstar : CL350 is short and easily manageable. as part of my long search, it felt more comfortable than the STD350.
but i had postponed my purchase for some more time, (here the waiting period for CL350 in more than 9 months).

Yeah I understand and in that Nine Months we can become fathers !!!
I see that becoming a dad is easier that getting CL350.

true! i have one frustrated friend who has been waiting for nearly 10 months! can you imagine that. fortunately for him he also booked a splendour (for his father) on the same day that he booked the CL350. so for the time being he has some wheels to move around.
another thing i disliked the RE showroom that they did not have any Demonstration units. if we demand a TD they are giving us other customer's bike which were in for service!
